Beauty Product Reviews

My new go-to!

I've actually been meaning to review this for a while! About 2 months ago, I was getting really fed up with my skin. I've been having horrible break outs seemingly out of nowhere, I have combo/oily skin, but I've always taken pretty good care of it. My foundations (drugstore brands) weren't cutting it as far as coverage went. I went to MAC one day on my lunch break and explained the skin problems I was having, that I wanted a nearly full coverage matte foundation, and the artist suggested matchmaster. She did a swatch of 1.5 on my skin and gave me a sample to use over a few days to see what I thought. 1.5 ended up being a little too dark, but after a week I decided to go back and get 1.0 and ever since it's been amazing! I usually prime, apply matchmaster, and set with Elf's HD translucent powder, and it stays all day! I even wore it to a theme park a week ago, in 110 degree weather and it held up relatively nicely for about half the day! Amazing amazing foundation.

Dissapointing

I got it in the shade Pink Sugar. It was extremely drying, and showed every single flaw in my lips. It looks really cakey to me and the glitter in this particular shade created a really weird texture and was very uncomfortable to wear. Color payoff was extremely disappointing.

Amazing!

I heard a lot of negatives about this product and the Maybelline Dream Nude Foam foundation. I decided I was going to try one or the other, so I ventured out to my local WalMart. I found a can of the Maybelline foundation that'd been opened and tested, so I swatched it on my hand and there was barely any coverage. I found the same with this foundation (only a LOT darker than my shade) and I fell in love! The texture is wonderful, and the coverage is even and buildable. I did some guesswork and found that my shade was 002 Shell. I wore it out for the first time today under Revlon's Color Stay powder, and it held up incredibly well. I heard a lot of stories about this product oxidizing and turning orange during the day, and luckily that didn't happen in my case. A little also goes a VERY long way with this product. I only used maybe 1.5 nickel sized amounts and it gave great coverage for my whole face. Didn't make my Combination/Oily skin anymore greasy or shiny which is a suuuper plus for me! Definitely happy with my purchase and I would totally recommend it.

After I got into a car accident over the summer, I was having nightmares that kept me up all night & this was the ONLY thing that worked for me! Kept me sleeping through the night and let me sleep in, too!

Great way to get unique nails!

Some of us aren't naturally blessed with a steady hand or artistic talent, but that doesn't mean you can't have a ridiculously cute DIY manicure! I got my first set of Konad products about a year ago and I've been in love with it ever since! The only cons are that you do have to have a special top coat to avoid smearing and you have to work (very!) quickly.

My absolute favorite chapstick. My lips can be horribly, horribly chapped and this will almost instantly fix it. I use it as a base for any lip color and I find that it helps with colors bleeding/staying in place.
